Tallinn, Estonia

Tallinn, Estonia is a surprise treat! Although held hostage by Moscow for decades, Estonia maintained its Western traditions in the form of its Latin alphabet and its Protestant and Catholic faiths. Locals are stylishly dressed and the town impeccably clean! Medieval Tallinn is best explored on a walking tour.

We visited and recommend visiting: Town Hall Square (home to cafes, boutiques, and restaurants); Toompea Hill (Upper Town); Alexander Nevsky Cathedral (Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Palace Square featuring onion domes, colorful icons, and golden crosses); St. Olaf's tower.
